As a researcher and artist, I develop computational tools to support expressivity in art, design, and fabrication.

I am advised by Erik Demaine at MIT CSAIL. I'm also very fortunate to work with Zach Lieberman at the Media Lab and Mackenzie Leake at Adobe Research. My research has been generously supported by the MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship and the NSERC PGS D.

I fill my time outside of work with family and friends, cooking, and crafting splendid plant-filled spaces.

I am excited to be part of Future Sketches at the Media Lab this fall.

I'm interning at Adobe Research in SF this summer with Mackenzie Leake!

Guess who's creating morphing art? Thanks, CAMIT, for the generous support.

I'm in Tokyo this summer visiting the Origami Lab led by Tomohiro Tachi!

I am designing for sustainable fashion, developing shape-changing structures, and co-creating computational tools for artists and designers. While I author papers, I am equally excited about alternative research outcomes, such as art installations, tools, and educational resources.

I am incredibly grateful for my parents, whom I admire deeply for their strength, my siblings and closest confidants— Esther, Josh, and Sam—and the cutest cats, Bit and Byte.
